RFE: Resources for Economists on the Internet

CountryWatch.com

This firm offers three products to its customers covering 191
countries. The first is "Country Reviews," which provide "an in-depth
and up-to-date detailed written review" of each country. These are
updated twice a year. As an indication of their breadth of each
review, the one for France is 76 pages. Other products include
"Country Wire," a country by country set of news items, "Country
Briefing," where the firm provides an in-person presentation,
CountryWatch@School, which offers extensive material for the
classroom, CountryWatch Data (8 years of macro data in numerous
categories and some 200,000 observations) and CountryWatch Map
Gallery. Finally, they also offer "globally integrated" forecasts
that go five years into the future.

While the complete reports are fee-based (and one can purchase all of
the reports or a report for just one country), there is considerable
free material. There is also an educational discount.
